Unable to print to a local printer from a Remote Desktop Connection
Hi
I cannot print to a local printer in MS server 2008 R2 (Standard). If I look in the 'Devices and Printers' I can see my local printers. I also have made sure that the tick box for printers is ticked when setting up the connection. These are network printers (don't know if that helps).
Any ideas on how I get it to print?
Thank you

I do not get a print error. I attempted to print a test page with the 'see what's printing' it came into the window displaying 'spooling' then 'printing' as the status. This is all in the RDP session.
